Although you cannot send a MMS text message, there's a way to still send photos to your friend's cell phones, with out the means of text messaging. Most mobile phones which have been made within recent years now come with e-mail abilities, whether the users realize this or not. It is by the means of e-mail that you are now able to send MMS messages to all of your friends.

It is extremely easy to do this with your iPhone, and requires extremely small time on your part. What you will do is "e-mail" the pictures to your recipient; however, the individual you're "e-mailing" does not need to have e-mail support on their phone to be able to receive your message. The only requirement is your recipient should be able to obtain MMS messages. What you'll do is find the photo you want to send on your iPhone and tap the send photo link, which is situated on the bottom left hand side of your iPhone.

To send the MMS message, you'll include the recipient's phone number along with their carrier's e-mail prefix. An example of this would be 3145556847@tmomail.net for a T-mobile telephone number. This does require that you know who your recipient's carrier is, however, all you have to accomplish is request your buddy who their cell phone carrier is. After you have done this, you will have the ability to send the MMS message to them, and they will receive it like a MMS text message.
